Let's try that again without the HTML which Sparrow evidently attaches
to every mail. Also added full Python windows versioning details.

Hi,

Just kicking the tyres of PyGUI with a view for using it for rapid GUI
development/testing work. Greg, love the work you've done so far - a
real breeze to learn, and well documented to boot.

I noticed the system font on Windows XP looked too small, so had a
poke around in the sources. I see it's theoretically 8pt Tahoma, but
comparing it to renderings in WordPad, it seems to be 7pt.

Editing GUI\Win32\StdFonts.py to change the input to
_win_pts_to_pixels 10, rather than 8, seems to produce correct 8pt
Tahoma. I've not experimented in depth, but this +2 point fudge-factor
seemed correct for 10pt and 12pt text too. The DPI maths in there look
correct, so I'm not sure what's causing this.

I'm running PyGUI 2.3, Python 2.6.6 and pywin32-213 on Windows XP in
VMWare Fusion. Display properties shows 96 DPI.

Could I also suggest adding Windows XP's not-quite-grey to the
standard colour library? I make the RGB values (0.93, 0.91, 0.85) -
this matches the background that appears around RadioButtons on Win32.

Cheers,

Alex
